In a lifetime of non-fiction
I found my ambition
Spiralling off the friction
Traversing roads full of bricks and stone
I've made no bones
About where I always wanted to go.

Immersed in the sands of drudgery
Found fulfillment in just being
Revelling in the moments of gratitude
Abandoning all notions of destitute.

For in a tiny town of appreciation
Lies a soul content with gratification
Celebrating the tiniest of wins
Found solace in submitting everything.

The stress, the tears, the doubts and the fears
Took away the joy of being here
Banished them to where they couldn't see
The radiance in embracing our true being.
